Sound for Video Session: Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel for Spoken Word

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we'll do something totally ridiculous and use the Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel for spoken word live audio. We'll just set it up and adjust its settings and hear what we get with this ridiculously expensive analogue audio gear.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. We have a course on sound for live-streaming with the ATEM Mini, Introduction to Izotope RX for Dialogue Audio, and Mixing fundamentals in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight.
